Christmas, while supposedly one of the most joyous times of year, can also be one of the most stressful. Sure, there’s tinsel and Mariah Carey and the freedom to watch Love Actually multiple times without judgement—but if you happen to be hosting the main event, your blood pressure is probably going through the roof. To save you the stress and kitchen responsibilities, we’ve rounded up a list of Perth’s restaurants and pubs open for Christmas Day in 2024 so you don’t have to.
Editor’s note: we’ve jumped on this list early, so understandably a bunch of spots around town haven’t locked in their Christmas Day offers yet. We’ll keep this article updated with the latest as it comes in. Is your venue going to be open or know of one that will be? Slide into our inbox.
